Add the ability for the mission creator to change the loadout of the slot if certain conditions are met, for example i want returning to the carrier and rearming to follow a death, instead of respawning on the carrier with a full loadout immediately ready to go, or spawning mid air with a full loudout immediately ready to go.
This helps in two ways:
-
Player immersion isn't lost completely upon death/reincarnation and they feel a sense of pride and accomplishment (LOL) when they land to refuel compared to just restarting from scratch while others (potentially 15 other players) are currently actively engaged in a mission elsewhere.
-
It makes death matter more and the economy system matter more since the player knows in order to get any weapons back that they use/lose, they will have to land again. So people see the meta here and sometimes will just respawn instead of returning to re arm unfortunately since it's too far away in their minds 😭 .
What happens currently is i set an air spawn where they are completely empty except for bags since they are forced, and lowest amount of fuel possible, but I have to rely on adjusting the budget system mid mission in order for them to respawn empty, and hoping each player created a blank custom loadout because i restrict their entire flight's budget until someone returns to the carrier, and locking their loadout (with bags on, i weep for 45's) and making a repeating sequence to check for their death/flight's death. It's doable in the current editor but it is sub optimal.
